Dubai has committed AED 2 billion to the Latifa bint Hamdan Corridor, a 12 kilometre road spine awarded by the RTA on 12 July 2026 that will tie six major highways, from Sheikh Zayed Road to Emirates Road, into the emirate's fast growing south east.
The scale of the build
The route threads through Nad Al Sheba, Al Barari, Dubai Hills, District One, Mohammed Bin Rashid Gardens, Living Legends, Majan and Global Village, serving around 650,000 people. It carries seven bridges totalling 2,300 metres and eight tunnels covering 900 metres, built to move 16,000 vehicles an hour each way, more than 130,000 trips a day. The run from Umm Al Sheif Street to Emirates Road should fall from 33 minutes to 15, and a 12.5 kilometre cycling track from Al Qudra to Jumeirah is part of the same scheme.
Why buyers should care
These districts have absorbed some of Dubai's heaviest homebuilding while access lagged behind. With completion due by the end of 2028, about when many homes now under construction hand over, the corridor lifts the ceiling that congestion had placed on values, arriving ahead of demand rather than after it.
